Feature article on Smart Parenting magazine is OUT!

May 23, 2013

After the much-awaited arrival of the magazine (for me, at least)  I was able to get my hands on the April Issue of the Smart Parenting magazine that we were featured in.  It was puzzling why I wasn't given a complimentary copy though I'm not sure if the other moms had gotten one either but anyway, as soon as the issue became available, bought a few copies to spread around hahaha Sheesh! it's not everyday we get featured in a magazine so .....

Naturally, I immediately scanned our page!!  What do you think? :D Reading from the acknowledgements on the page, the Photo was shot by Dakila Angeles and the make-up and hairstyling was done by Pipo Santos.  But honestly, there was nothing to change with the hair LOL Prior to the shoot, the team at Smart Parenting asked me about the kids' sizes.  The dress on Dana and the button-down shirt on Dylan came from Elle Kids boutique at Glorietta.  They only wore it at the shoot hehehe Oh and the shoes I was wearing belonged to Maika B. who was the sittings editor.  I had slip-ons and she suggested that closed-shoes looked better hahahaha I agree! :)



The thing to remember here is that we had fun.  It was an extraordinary experience for me and the kids.  Dana even brought a copy of the magazine and showed it to her teachers and classmates in school.  I guess this one was for the Bucket List hahahaha

2nd Photo Shoot

March 07, 2013

Today was the schedule for the 2nd photo shoot for Smart Parenting magazine.  They were cutting it too close for their April deadline so everything was kind of in a rush.  Apparently, the photos from the first shoot wasn't cohesive with the rest of the photos of the other interviewees so they decided to re-shoot at Mom and Tina's cafe in Makati.  It was fine with me although it was too bad that the first one didn't make the cut.  I kind of liked how I looked there hahaha (vain!)

Anyway, these photos were taken by Den at the photo shoot.  She had a crappy mobile camera so the pictures are a little blurry hahha  It was a bit awkward that they had to do the makeup there at the cafe in front of other people but I guess there was no other extra private space and besides who was I to complain? ;)





This time our photographer was Dax Angeles who also happened to know Patrick since he also freelances for Top Gear Philippines.  Unfortunately, I can't remember the makeup artist's name because when we got there, there was no time for introductions and small talk. Just straight to the makeup and shoot.  After, we were treated to the delicious cakes and pastries they have on hand! :)  Then, it was all  a matter of waiting for the issue to hit the stands!

Before going home, we all trooped to Hainanese Delights in Robinsons Otis and we took this opportunity to take pictures.  hahaha.  It's rare that I look this good and with professional makeup at that! So "Ready, Aim, Shoot!" haaha We were so noisy we woke up Tracy hahaha
